What Does It Mean To Wilt Spinach?
Wilting spinach means to cook it or heat it up briefly until the leaves become slightly softened, wilted, and less crisp. This process can be done by blanching spinach in boiling water for a minute or two or sautéing it in a pan with a little bit of oil or butter. Wilting spinach makes it easier to eat and digest, and also concentrates its flavor.
